Yeah, considering that I burrowed holes in their walls to pester their tinker, loot their treasure rooms, and steal their fresh water, they definitely aren't going to care if you just teleport in. That said, I'm not sure if I've ever broken in before getting them to lower the forcefield, so maybe be careful if you decide to do that. I always do the Red Rock quest before heading out there, anyway.

I really like Jef's videos, I hope he plays some more now that it's out on steam. Anyways, I played a bit and I "accidentally" killed everyone in Joppa (save for the warden and the cat) , am I hosed? Also what's a good character to learn the ropes? I just made some fat gently caress with lots of strength and toughness and went rampaging. Still alive I guess

There's a lot of stuff out there and the questline at the moment mostly just gives you reasons to visit various dungeons. Recommendations for starting characters include Praetorian True Man (good stats/skills/starting gear, but True Men are limited in their advancement potential due to lacking mutations), Carapace/Freezing Hands turtles for bump-attacking dudes, and high-Ego Light Manipulation/Sunder Mind/Time Fugue for massive laser death raves for a more "caster"-style character.

Dunno but you need only complete argyves rust well quest and they let you in. After you get the quest Takes More Than a Willing Spirit, just talk to the intercom again and you'll have an option to enter the gates.

I have a bad habit of offing him once I hit lvl2 so I can get any of the sweet carbide gear he might have. Flaming hands plus attacking the same dude a lot is hilarious and terrifying. I found that out by attacking a merchant and his crew, taking em all out then managing to die on the drat pack mule turtle thing cause it's like crazy tougher than them. We ended up dancing around on fire for a bit till I just kinda finally screwed up and some steam got me. Think I might stick to freezing hands next time even if it means I get stuck in place a bit, cause I'm sure they will be too.

I throw everything into a chest in Joppa and buy all the nuggets I find. I had about 20 full waterskins and a whole bunch of laser weaponry in it around level 25.

The skill that lets you drop a 3x3 square of friendly plants on a target is pretty hilarious. I like how you can then also move a seedspitter to the next screen or whatever by changing places with it a couple of times.

My axe turtle is level 9, I've cleared out rust wells and fallen in love with the farmer's daughter. Where next? And how do I manage food? I get famished repeatedly and have to force myself to eat snapjaw corpses, even though butchery is turned on. I feel like I'm missing something really obvious about the food/eating system.

Passing over corpses butchers them with your Butchery skill if they qualify. Snapjaws can't be butchered and are poo poo for nutrition anyway. Bears, goats, knollworms, and crabs are all good candidates for food. You can also buy food from merchants - I recommend vinewafers since they're piss cheap, you can usually get a shitton of them at a time, they weigh nothing, AND they hydrate you when eaten. Try heading to Joppa and talking to the farmer guy at the entrance and the warden by the elder's little manor-hut; they'll trade if asked (use tab) and have at least 100 vinewafers each. e: Oh, I almost forgot - severed body parts are reasonably light and will be automatically eaten if you get hungry, so pick 'em up and keep 'em for snacks  Go talk to Argyve in the bottom left of Joppa. He has another quest for you after you bring him his wire. You have to talk to him again after handing the wire quest in to get it. You could also talk to the farmer guy for a quest to go to Red Rock and do some stuff there. If you've cleared Rust Wells you should probably be strong enough to handle that. I recommend it; the Snapjaws there tend to have steel equipment, and the reward for completing the quest is quite good. Angry Diplomat fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Sep 2, 2015 |

Is there an 'eat' key I'm missing, or do you have to do it through the 'get' menu every time you want to eat the corpses of your slain foes  ? It would be awfully convenient to have a 1-or-2-key combination for "eat whatever I'm standing on".

I guess taking the Butcher skill kinda circumvents it and otherwise if a monster has no drops you can hammer space, space, A But yeah

Eating corpses happens automagically if the are in your inventory, and they will be prioratized over normal foods. Try stocking up on glowfish and glowcrows since they're light.

First concrete results from regionalization. Working on procedurally turning a cave system into a little town. Starting with walling cul-de-sacs off into little dwelling areas.

Axe turtle waltzed through Red Rock and Grit Gate, now lvl 11. Anything to do or know before Golgatha? unormal, really enjoyed the sense of discovery at the end of Grit Gate just from the change in tile use, but I feel like I missed why the waydroids were leaving me alone and murdering hermits. I'm sure it was in the quest text, but maybe a pop-up the first time a droid comes on screen?

Last run i finished the rust wells and red rock quest, was doing good for myself, bought some cool poo poo and then accidentally shot Mehmet in the face with my shotgun. The warden fellow was not happy at all and turned me into ice cubes. I need to work on my keybinds cus that was quite unfortunate. What keys do people usually bind their attack skills and such to?

I bind mine to Ctrl+<key>, but you have to careful not to bind around X or you could accidentally give yourself a mountain of XP. Binding around W isn't as bad since you can just cancel out of the wish prompt.

You should probably just unbind the wish and xp-cheat commands, there's no reason to have them bound by default; I unbound them in a recent build in the default keymaps.
